I thought it was, but its not.
75 lists the symptoms but unknown cause.
I can reproduce it with:
1) Start JOSM.
2) Load/Download BOTH an OSM layer and a GPX layer.
3) Select a random groups of objects
4) Click "Create a new map" or delete the Data Layer
This clears the OSM data layer, leaving the GPX
5) Reload/download some OSM data
6) Try and select some objects
Neither the current selection or properties list are updated
Hope this helps
